My post was in no way meant to show a lack of faith in men. I merely told it the way it is. The majority of men today are shit scared to stand for what they really believe is right because they have been cowed by their wives and society in general to believe in the depiction of them we see daily in the sit coms and here from the likes of the idiots leading the so called “women’s movement”.
I’m a 50’s kid and I will remain a 50’s kid till the day i die, I make the decisions in my home where it concerns money, or large purchases and I do so for the simple reason I am better qualified. There is no equality of decision making nor was there “fairness” in raising the kids. They were taught right from wrong, punished for the wrong and we cared not a wit what their friends were allowed to do. We a,de the rules for the behavior and I enforced them strictly. My wife was the necessary sympathetic figure the kids could run to when they believed I was being so “unfiar”. She wouold NEVER go against what I said but would explain again the reasons for the rules.
They all got jobs when they could and turned over half their check to us, Unbeknownst to them it was invested and when they left the house after college (and belueve me they DID leave after college) they got all the money back.
The problem to day is men refuse or are afraid to be men and women seem to want to be men. Ok but it ain’t a happenin’ in my house.
ugly guys
Why are women violent? Because they can be.
Man-on-woman violence is completely socially unacceptable, and any degree of it, or even the accusation of it, will land the guy in jail. Guys understand this from an early age.
Woman-on-man violence is accepted. Women are allowed to respond to men who anger them by slapping them, throwing things at them, and otherwise letting out their anger physically. The man is supposed to accept it or retreat.
In woman-woman relationships, women who are used to it being acceptable for a woman to become violently angry with her domestic partner have no constraints.
Some wives try to get the husband mad enough to fight back. That looks good in a divorce. I know my ex wife tried very hard to trap me. I realized her plan and didn’t take the bait. A man has no legal means of defense when a wife won’t close her mouth.
most young men in their 20’s and those college students are nothing but pansies I just hope my daughter when she grows up will be able to find a man and not some girlie man like many are at college.
I swear these college men are nothing but fairies, have big mouths but cannot have fight to to save their lives.
I’ve been doing boxing since a kid and now coach it . The amount of fairies I see coming into the gym is amazing, they care more about how their hair is or how big their chest is but will not take a punch.
tlb probably won’t respond as they make one post, pro-homosexual, on a thread and leave. It keeps them from getting banned for pushing the agenda.
Yikes, Dyke Mullets!!
Not good over breakfast!!
No WE are responsible. WE let it happen and it’s time to stand and say ENOUGH! I personally have always taken a stand within my own family. I am in charge, I have ALWAYS been in charge and my wife of over 40 yrs has no problems with that. We understand each other, the relative strengths and weaknesses of ourselves and the other. She never asks me to help her pick out drapes and wall paper and I never ask her to pick a stock, mutual fund or any other investment.
If people simply would stay within themselves, do what they do best and not try to be something they are not, things would work out for the best.

Exactly, and that is because they never had to. They have been "protected" the whole of their sorry assed lives.
I have to ask. My Hubby of 40 years is very verbal about his likes and dislikes. If I pick something he doesn't like I hear "I'm not paying for that".
Please in no way take offense, I just think guys are great.
You are totally right, men have been neutered.
Look at my tagline.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I haven’t had to do that yet. Would I? Sure I would. She can pick out what she wants but it doesn’t mean I HAVE to like it. It’s just that the decision is hers to make in that area as the decision is mine to make in the other areas.
It is happening all over but perhaps we are beginning to see a bit of a change. Maybe the “sleeping giant” of American values and sense of right and wrong and just plain fairness is ready for a comeback.
One can hope and pray.
Not in my house. We go shopping together. If he doesn’t like what I pick, I have to find something else. lol
I’m hoping alright.
Not surprising. One (or more) in a homosexual male couple is a wuss who is femininized while one or more in a homosexual female couple wants to act butch.
We fundamentally agree, Mr. B. I believe that morality and ethics are taught, personally. If a child is raised in a home that espouses wife beating or drug abuse, that child will likely grow up to be a wife beater or a drug addict. My father was an alcoholic, and I saw that a lot as a child. I too am an alcoholic, but I’ve taken the steps to keep myself away from booze and other mind-altering substances. Aversion to alcohol was learned through experience and research, it was not ingrained.
More specifically to your point, however, I do agree that it is hardwired in us to search for the opposite sex as a way to propagate the species. I’m of the mindset that homosexuality is a learned behavior and a lifestyle choice not genetically coded in our DNA.
